The man was identified as Richard White, but it is unknown what motivated the attacks. One of the shots from the deputy hit a T.S.A. agent who was fleeing the scene.
People were fleeing everywhere from the attacker. Four people were taken to a hospital for treatment, and six others were treated on the scene. White is in surgery, and the wounded T.S.A. agent's shot wound is not considered serious.
